PARMA HEIGHTS, Ohio – The Mayor’s Caucus March 3 addressed some pressing issues facing the city in the first quarter of the year.

The Senior Center is in dire need of a new vehicle to pick up and transport seniors to various activities and destinations. Senior Center director Judy McLaughlin said that the center’s 2006 vehicle has well over 100,000 miles and needs to be replaced.

The city is applying for a federal grant that will pay a good portion of the cost for a new vehicle.

In other news, the building department is considering waiving building fees to allow residents more time to pull permits for summer repairs to their homes.

The CodeRed contract with the city is almost over, and a new three-year contract could be in place by May 7. A new agreement would allow for unlimited minutes charged to the city with no break in service.

Finance director Terry Hickey presented council with a proposal to pay down the principle on the Stumph Road re-construction cost. It will be on first reading at the March 10 council meeting.
